What are the side panel clip things with the captured nut called?

I was looking at the parts finder on gofasters and see one as part of the headlight assembly but is part of an assembly. I looked under the plastics and I didn't seem them there either, but I know they are.

Thanks

Clip on nuts...there is a political joke there somewhere.....
Thanks Dave, I had no idea what to call them. Reminds me of the teacher that when asked how to spell a word, always says to "look it up!" Psycho, Pneumonia, Know, gant don't work that way - that used to piss me off. So I used "gooses", when she counted off I showed it to here in the Dictionary. I don't think that it is there any longer. Why is it my Dad got smarter as I got older and I seem to be getting dumber? If you are lost, what good is a map?

Now, back to the nice foks at McMaster-Carr!

Years ago the actual name was "Tinnerman Clip". Albert Tinnerman invented the "speed nut" in 1925. Some history here:
